The Life of YOU: Amanza Smith on Loneliness, Identity and Finding Yourself Again

Welcome to The Life of YOU!

The bonus series where we tackle your dilemmas and share advice to navigate life’s trickier moments.

This week, I’m joined by Amanza Smith—star of Selling Sunset, interior designer and fine artist. Amanza opens up about navigating loneliness, motherhood, and identity after heartbreak, as well as the importance of choosing yourself—especially when time and energy are in short supply.

Together, we answer your questions about guilt, self-expression and rediscovering your style when you’re starting from scratch.

Today:

💬 An overwhelmed single mum wants to sketch in her free time—but feels guilty for doing something she enjoys. How can she overcome that guilt?

🛋️ A newly single 41-year-old has moved into her first solo home but feels lost without a personal style. Is it too late to discover one?
